And it's never quick, either, like "in 50 meters turn left", is it?
"In 50m stay in the left hand lane marked 'left turn only towards Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580', then in 200m take the exit following signs for 'Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580' then at the fork take the left exit towards 'Manchester, Salford, Eccles, M602, A580' and we've found a quicker route that saves nine seconds and avoids congestion on the M602 Manchester Approach Road West via the A580 East Lancashire Road and A580 Salford Bypass. To not avoid unselecting this not route don't unpress the button."
So accurate
You guys are using GPS with the voice unmuted?
Right? I muted it exactly for this reason
I muted mine years ago after it wouldn't stop referring to roads by numbering systems instead of the actual names on the signs.
Honorable mention to when the directions on the screen have the name but the voice says the number anywat
Not if I'm going someplace unfamiliar, but if I'm just using it for traffic it's usually muted.
I feel like the voice prompts are especially unhelpful if I am unfamiliar with the roads. Looking at the map shows me the next one or two turns at a glance and also shows me which lanes I need to take.
No. Not ever.
In two miles, continue straight.
Continue for ten miles...
Continue for seven miles...
Continue for thirty-five miles...
Attention everyone. Please proceed.
"Turn right in 500 feet.. "
"Okay."
"On blab blah blvd"
"Okay shut up."
"Route 32/128/64"
"FUCK"
" And then follow rt 3 for 2 miles"
"ARE YOU DONE??"
Silence. Music resumes playing.
"SPEED TRAP AHEAD. WE FOUND A FASTER ROUTE."
"Rerouting"
"Rerouting"
"Rerouting rerouting rerouting"
Nothing will compare to last week when I was listening to a podcast in the car. The GPS will pause podcasts instead of turning down the volume. So I heard "well, this looks like a MUR - turn right on baker st - DER!". I bust out laughing all by myself in the car.
Why can't we get gps to pause music in this case too?
🔇 ... 🎵🎶 🤘 Keeping that shit on silent is the way to go.
Just.. turn it off then? GMaps has a setting that only plays a sound when you take a wrong turn. If you keep half an eye on the navigation this works very well.
Lol every fucking time
I mute that shit
